5 minutes before Trump's announcement:
* $1.5B notional worth of S&P500 (ES) futures are bought in a single clip.
* $192M notional of oil futures (CL) sold.
More than 4x-6x any other trade size during the market close.
Insiders profited from his lies in broad daylight!

With two line graphs showing stocks bought and sold.

@thetnholler.bsky.social They've been doing this all along. The tariff stuff was the same - Drumpf even admitted it. Despicable and illegal but in Trumpistan anything goes.

Russia kickback on the 13th?

@thetnholler.bsky.social I told people this during his first term. As capricious as that idiot is, he can also give his buddies MOUNTAINS of graft in the form of insider trading. Some fascist shithead wants to buy Warner Brothers to further suffocate knowledge with right wing lies? Oh! Government investigation into the competitor.
His allies can be ready with liquid assets for the 'sudden' announcement of any regulation to clean up on panic sells same for buys.

Glad to see you here!
Yeah, bluesky is making some dubious choices, aren't they.

and so is the US govt.

oh it's through the bridge, lol. Still, you chose to build it.
Trump is grabbing every opportunity to make money. It's no random number, five days until the next deadline - that puts it at the end of the week's trading. Buy low, sell high all the way for this guy.
